A Visit From Turbulence
Last weekend we were honored to be visited by Helen Thorington and Jo-Anne Green, co-directors of Turbulence, an organization committed to supporting and commissioning net art.
Not only did they bring their smiles, but a huge gift basket from Trader Joe’s (thanks!). We dragged them to 2 art openings and 7 plays (no lie), to which they asked if every weekend was like this out here in Berkshire County.
The work that Helen and Jo do is so important we can’t even put it into words. 11 years ago Helen recognized the need to nurture, and provide a place for network art to exist, at a time when most people didn’t even know art could exist online. If you are unfamiliar with Turbulence, or net art for that matter, do yourself a favor and lose a day on their website.
We at Greylock Arts look forward to collaborating with Helen and Jo on many projects that exploit both the possibilities of the internet and of our gallery’s physical space.
